Love him or hate him, Chris Brown can still move some units. The official Billboard numbers came out as Brown’s album F.A.M.E. is officially at #1 selling 270K records for the first week. This is actually a pretty high number for the industry these days and the second highest #1 of the year so far only behind Adele and Brown’s first album at #1. Guess those Chris Brown fans are actually still out there. Who knew???

CB goes into detail about his love for art, specifically graffiti art and the artists that influenced him.

CB shows there still are big budgets in music videos with his much hyped (but worth the wait??) single “12 Strands.”

See Chris Brown on the run through the city dodging the cops and cars in this clip from the upcoming heist flick Takers. Some nice stunt work and camera angles show off Chris’ action star abilities.

Chris is doing whatever he can to get back in the good graces of the public eye. I’m not sure if a short film with a lot of Chris punching people is the way to go. But at least the production value looks pretty legit in this Matrix-style flick. Check the teaser for the film which is titled 12 Strands. Good for him he didn’t go with 12 Rounds.

Since Chris Brown’s music career is pretty much shot maybe he should try being an actor full-time. T.I. had nothing but praise for CB’s acting chops in the upcoming action flick Takers.

“Chris was cool, man. I think Chris gonna impress a lot of people,” Tip told Power 106. “He does a lot of high performance, action sequences. He shows his ability. I think people will actually be presently surprised with his performance.”

Luckily none of these action sequences required Chris to beat other people up. Instead he does a lot of running and jumping off roof tops and cars. Check the trailer to see what we mean.

Our sources say this is an international poster for the upcoming T.I. and Chris Brown heist film Takers. Our favorite still is the latest U.S. version that was released last month (see poster here). Movie hits theaters August 27th. Who’s going to watch?

According to Sony Screen Gems, the poster we showed you a couple weeks back apparently wasn’t the final version. Well now the fine folks at the studio have released this final version which does away with hokey Photoshop and focuses on the sleek and simple and cast power. Yes…Chris Brown is featured. What do you guys think of this new poster?
